Anyone here order from GAME? Do we know when they may charge for the console? I have a feeling my card company may decline it or send me a text to confirm if this was me.

Yeah I'm also wondering when they will charge my card for both the Xbox and PS5.

Is that for just physical store pre orders?
I ordered mine online when they first went up, got the email straight away. They never charged a pound or anything like that.

They have stated they will be contacting people this week. I have an in store pick up for a PS5 but I am in Northern Ireland and we come out of a month lockdown in 2 weeks. But as far as I know toy shops were still open anyway doing click and collect etc. so hopefully will be no problem with me collecting on the 19th, going to be there at 9:00 am to get in and out unless they do some collection time slot nonsense.

Got mine for click and collect aswell but I'll be in work the night before and on the night of release day so gonna have to rely on the Mrs to pick it up for me. She'll be in work on the day so I hope they don't allocate time slots.

Might want to look into whether you need the ID of whoever Ordered it too in advance mate, Just in case.
I've had items that only I could pick up with ID, wouldn't accept my wife collecting it, photo ID or otherwise

My mate who works in my local smyths had a confirmation his store were opening for click and collect. Don’t think it will be long till a nationwide announcement gets made IMO. Either that or they may well leave it to a stores discretion.
Malachai

Never thought of that. Hopefully they will go by the details on my bankcard that I used to pre-order it.
EliteClarity

Would Like to think so, But that wouldn't stop anything had the card been stolen, used for pre-order and then used for collection. I had to use my Bank Card cross-referenced with my Passport/Driving Licence.
I may be over thinking it, but its worth asking them to make sure you get it right.
Edit: As per your reply above, fair enough. At least you checked.

It's a strange time, I could see them doing Click and Collect as those stores would count, like Argos does, or moving everyone to delivery and pay earlier (which is a bit shitty if you're waiting on a payday or in my case a birthday just before release)
I still have no idea why the release date is the 19th if Warehouses have them though

Posting this here too as FYI:
Woop woop!
UK pre orders can be picked up fine. Official confirmation:
It might be just a plastic box that makes things go bing, but it’s the one highlight of this relentlessly shitty year for me, so I’m stoked it won’t be delayed

I've posted in other threads....but here will keep the hype train rolling....
Germany might be bringing the release forward to the 12th. We might just being getting ours early too...be a nice surprise.

I had 1 year of German in school like 20 years ago, and I fkin hated my teacher. Mind giving us a basic translation?

Just got that through myself as well mate, excellent news! Can’t wait, hopefully brings a good ending to what has felt like a royally shite year. Games all pre ordered too so they’ll be here next week, the anticipation will piss me offPosting this here too as FYI:

According to google:
"Dear customer,
thank you very much for your order at www.mediamarkt.de! We very much regret to inform you that the publication of your ordered item 2661938 SONY PlayStation®5 has been postponed by the manufacturer to November 12th, 2020. As soon as the item has arrived in our warehouse, you will receive your order confirmation by email. After receipt of the order confirmation, the order will be sent immediately to the delivery address you specified. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we hope to continue to welcome you as our customer. Keep waiting"
Obviously something regarding "postponed until 12th november" has been lost in translation. Or its bullshit. Either way, mildly interesting.

Don't talk about that little plastic toy in this thread, sir.
Really? They're available in every store in the Netherlands. I just ordered one yesterday and it's coming next week.
Verschoben doesn't mean postponed though. It means it has moved to 12th.
EDIT: Crap need to learn how to multiquote properly

There were loads of these available for quite some time after initial launch. Over a week to be honest. You might have to accept that you've just missed out this time around.

Did anyone manage to bag one of the limited Digital Edition PS5s that went on ShopTo today? I luckily already had one secured but hoping some people here managed to get one in the bag

Been checking every hour or so but missed it. Hoping some more become avaliable in the next week. Why did I cancel my order at Game a month back

Having an extra PS5 at launch would never be a bad thing

the struggle is real and global. nothing could have prepared you for this imminent doom that WILL destroy you. ps4 was good but who would have guessed that ps5 would be here to herald the end of the world and everything that is holy. prepare your will and enjoy these final hours before everything comes crashing to an end

Go to the Pre-Order section of your account and find the PlayStation you ordered, if it says confirmed for day one, you're golden, if it doesn't then you likely won't get it for launch but will be one of the first to get yours as post launch shipments come, you can always remove Pre-Order and request a refund to your bank account/PayPal via the ShopTo help desk if you don't wanna wait, but essentially you're in a virtual queue and it'll tell you where you are in terms of being confirmed for day one and not being confirmed for day one.

Did anyone who ordered from Amazon have their delivery date changed to the 20th of November? I did speak with them and they said they're not sending them out till the 18th, so I may get the console on the 19th..... but will definitely get on the 20th. Not sure why they won't ship them out on the 17th. Still getting my controller on the 12th.
Make sure to update your shipping speed to get a clear indication of the correct delivery date. I also noticed the prime delivery option has been taken away for the PS5 now. Still has the prime delivery option for my controller.

Exactly, I was talking to the manager of my local as I was paying off my PS5 pre order and she was saying they got the Series X and S in a few weeks ago and the PS5's came in a few days ago, why exactly are we waiting an extra week?
What makes it worse is that Spiderman and Demons Souls can be bought and downloaded on the 12th according to the PlayStation Store as well, what a tease!
